Every golfer has had them. Those days when every putt the golfer looks at goes in dead center at perfect speed. The lines are so clear they may as well have had them painted for you.
Funny thing about it is when most people have those days they can't put a finger on what was making it all happen. The whole day seems like a blur. All you can remember is the putts falling in and how great it was.
The next weekend the golfer goes out and tries to find the magic and it is nowhere to be had. Usually the search starts on the practice green with an effort to recreate the feel they had the previous week. From that point on the golfer is doomed for the day.
The surest way to not find your putting zone is to start looking for it. I prefer to look at it as meeting your zone, rather than finding it. If you put yourself in the right mental state, the zone will find you.
Think back to your best putting performances. I would bet the farm you don't recall a single technical aspect of what was happening that day. There are no mechanical thoughts about your putting stroke in the zone.
There is nothing but an unusual awareness of the proper line and speed. The thought of missing or making a bad stroke never occurs to you.
The key to getting into the zone, or as close as you can get on any given day, is to purge yourself of all technical thoughts about your putting stroke and focus only on the line and speed.
The best putting stroke is the one you don't think about making. That's the one you make when you enter your putting zone.
Now let me show you how to make your natural instincts improve your putting.
